Where can i get a free domain name ?
« on: April 05, 2009, 07:10:23 AM »
Hello! it's Adam.

I have a web site with a name "www.websitename.webs.com"
but i'm looking to get it as "www.websitename.com"
can some one tell me what web site, I need to go too,

It need's to be :

100% Free, the word is FREE.

Sign up need's to be " littler info " "There not going to get my card number "
as it's FREE.

I've be to "http://www.co.cc" there look okk. but it was hard to set up,
and I'm not looking for "www.websitename.co.cc"

You can't. It's as simple as that.

I'm just going to go out on a limb here and guess that 'Free' is not an option here.

There are plenty of people here....
I believe what they are pointing out is that domain names are not FREE.

Unless of course you can get somebody who already paid to register a domain name to hand it over to you; which is unlikely.
I was trying to dereference Null Pointers before it was cool.

I have some domains that are going to expire. You can have one free.
ike free. But you can not have your pick. It does not work that way. I already paid for it, could not get around to doing anything with it, could not make it money with it, have too many other things I do. So I am just going to let some go back into the dark seep depth of cyberspace..
I can't give you the names here, I think that might not bee a good idea. But if you want to send me a PM I will give you a list of domains I have that will soon expire. Why didn't you ask me last year? I have over a hundred I let expire!
But did you Google for free domains? I recall that at one time Belgium, I think, was giving free domains.

Okay.........

The fact of the matter is that you're not actually going to get a free domain, anywhere. What's more is that you'll then have to go and register the domain, which definitely is not free.

kpac is right, you're going to have to dig into your piggy bank and use some of those pennies you've been saving since you were three years old.

How about .info domain instead of .com?  Domain registrar godaddy.com has a sale on .info domains now.  You can get one for one year of $0.99.  That offer is shown here: https://www.godaddy.com/gdshop/tlds/info.asp?tld=info&ci=13085

Their price on .com domains is currently about $10/yr.  And, I think you're going to have use a credit card, regardless of the amount. If you don't have one, ask your parents if you can use one of their accounts for this.

Or, talk to Geek-9pm about his offer, but you may not be satisfied with being limited to a previously choosen domain name.
